Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi from Abdullah ibn Umar that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, sent a raiding party which included Abdullah ibn Umar near Najd. They plundered many camels and their portions were twelve or eleven camels each. They divided it up camel by camel.

Like this:

Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz wrote to one of his governors, “It has been passed down to us that when the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, sent out a raiding party, he would say to them, ‘Make your raids in the name of Allah in the way of Allah. Fight whoever denies Allah. Do not steal from the booty, and do not act treacherously. Do not mutilate and do not kill children.’ Say the same to your armies and raiding parties, Allah willing. Peace be upon you.”

Like this:

Yahya related to me from Abdullah ibn Abd ar-Rahman ibn Mamar al-Ansari that Ata ibn Yasar said that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, “Shall I tell you who has the best degree among people?A man who takes the rein of his horseto do jihad in the way of Allah. Shall I tell you who has the best degree among people after him? A man who lives alone with a few sheep, performs the prayer, pays the zakat, and worships Allah without associating anything with him.”

Like this:

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu’z Zinad from al-Araj from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, “Allah guarantees either the Garden or a safe return to his home with whatever he has obtained of reward or booty, for the one who does jihad in His way, if it is solely jihad and trust in his promise that brings him out of his house.”

Now that I have your undivided attention, I direct it first to Sharia, the path to life giving waters, a.k.a. Islamic Law. Book O of The Reliance of the Traveller [searchable image] treats of Justice; Book P treats of enormities (previous sins). [I have added emphasis and a link.]

*2*Chapter O12.0: The Penalty for Fornication or Sodomy

O12.1

The legal penalty is obligatorily imposed upon anyone who fornicates or commits sodomy (A: provided it is legally established (def: n11.2 (O:) ) ) when they:

(a) have reached puberty;

(b) are sane;

(c) and commit the act voluntarily;

no matter whether the person is a Muslim, non-Muslim subject of the Islamic state, or someone who has left Islam.

O12.2

If the offender is someone with the capacity to remain chaste, then he or she is stoned to death (def: o12.6), someone with the capacity to remain chaste meaning anyone who has had sexual intercourse (A: at least once) with their spouse in a valid marriage, and is free, of age, and sane. A person is not considered to have the capacity to remain chaste if he or she has only had intercourse in a marriage that is invalid, or is prepubescent at the time of material intercourse, or is someone insane at the time of marital intercourse who subsequently regains their sanity prior to committing adultery.

If the offender is not someone with the capacity to remain chaste, then the penalty consists of being scourged (def: o12.5) one hundred stripes and banished to a distance of at least 81 km./50 mi. for one year.

Did you take due notice of the fact in 12.1, that the penalty applies even if you ain’t Muslim?

*2*Chapter P17.0: Sodomy and Lesbianism

P17.1

In more than one place in the Holy Koran, Allah recounts to us the story of Lot’s people, and how He destroyed them for their wicked practice. There is consensus among both Muslims and the followers of all other religions that sodomy is an enormity. It is even viler and uglier than adultery.

P17.2

Allah Most High says:

“Do you approach the males of humanity, leaving the wives Allah has created for you? But you are a people who transgress” (Koran 26:165-66).

P17.3

The Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said:

-1- “Kill the one who sodomizes and the one who lets it be done to him.”

The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: A man should not look at the private parts of another man, and a woman should not look at the private parts of another woman. A man should not lie with another man without wearing lower garment under one cover; and a woman should not be lie with another woman without wearing lower garment under one cover.

The Prophet cursed the effeminate men and those women who assume the similitude (manners) of men. He also said, “Turn them out of your houses.” He turned such-and-such person out, and ‘Umar also turned out such-and-such person.

Do you really want to allow Sharia any foothold on our shores? Did you notice that the same penalty applies to fornicators? Please give this subject some deep thought, then advise your Congressman & Senators.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu’z-Zinad from al-Araj from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said “Someone who does jihad in the way of Allah is like someone who fasts and prays constantly and who does not slacken from his prayer and fasting until he returns.“

Like this:

Ibn Shihab reported that Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) made an expedition to Tabuk and he (the Holy Prophet) had in his mind (the idea of threatening the) Christians of Arabia in Syria and those of Rome. Ibn Shihab (further) reported that ‘Abd al-Rahman b. ‘Abdullah b. Ka’b informed him that Abdullah b. Ka’b who served as the guide of Ka’b b. ‘Malik as he became blind that he heard Ka’b b. Malik narrate the story of his remaining behind Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) from the Battle of Tabuk. …[Click link in title to read the rest; its a long one. ]

Like this:

Jabir reported: Allah’s Messenger (may peace he upon him) sent us (on an expedition) and appointed Abu ‘Ubaida our chief that we might intercept a caravan of the Quraish and provided us with a bag of dates. And he found for us nothing besides it. Abu Ubaida gave each of us one date (everyday). I (Abu Zubair, one of the narrators) said: What did you do with that? He said: We sucked that just as a baby sucks and then drank water over that, and it sufficed us for the day until night. We beat off leaves with the help of our staffs, then drenched them with water and ate them. We then went to the coast of the sea, and there rose before us on the coast of the sea something like a big mound. We came near that and we found that it was a beast, called al-‘Anbar (spermaceti whale). Abu ‘Ubaida said. It is dead. He then said: No (but it does not matter), we have been sent by the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) in the path of Allah and you are hard pressed (on account of the scarcity of food), so you eat that. We three hundred in number stayed there for a month, until we grew bulky. He (Jabir) said: I saw how we extracted pitcher after pitcher full of fat from the cavity of its eye, and sliced from it compact piece of meat equal to a bull or like a bull. Abu ‘Ubaida called forth thirteen men from us and he made them sit in the cavity of its eye, and he took hold of one of the ribs of its chest and made it stand and then saddled the biggest of the camels we had with us and it passed under it (the arched rib), and we provided ourselves with pieces of boiled meat (especially for use in our journey). When we came back to Medina, we went to Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) and made a mention of that to him, whereupon he said: That was a provision which Allah had brought forth for you. Is there any piece of meat (left) with you, so tnat you give to us that? He (Jabir) said: We sent to Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) tome of that (a piece of meat) and he ate it.

If you are a consumer of the Bush Kool-Aid, you should move on to the next post, this won’t aid your attitude; nobody learns well when po’d.

If you are a Bush hating leftard, you won’t find any support for your idiotic notions or conspiracy theories in this blast.

If you are a Muslim or a believer in multiculturalism this blast may induce apoplexy & lead to your death, which might very likely improve the world somewhat.

It does not cover everything President Bush said. I concentrated on the most important deceptions.

I am suffering from a painful urinary tract infection. I don’t have the patience for finely detailed proof reading; the spelling, style & grammar will be less than perfect.

Now you can’t claim that you weren’t warned. Continue reading this blast if you are open minded; able and willing to learn and consider strong opinions based upon relevant, verifiable facts and expressed in the harshest possible terms.

If you got this far, you are about to encounter the first of many quotes from the transcript of the President’s address to the General Assembly. The quotes are block quoted in Helvetica / Ariel. My reactions follow.

Yet the ideals of the Charter are now facing a challenge as serious as any since the U.N.’s founding – a global movement of violent extremists. By deliberately murdering the innocent to advance their aims, these extremists defy the fundamental principles of international order. They show contempt for all who respect life and value human dignity. They reject the words of the Bible, the Koran, the Torah, or any standard of conscience or morality. They imperil the values of justice and human rights that gave birth to the United Nations – values that have fueled an unprecedented expansion of freedom across the world.

a global movement of violent extremists

President Bush is so entrapped in his web of lies that, in the last year of his last term, he still can’t correctly name the enemy. There is no such thing as violent extremists in this war, only zealots: true believers in Islam. He can’t admit it; that would unravel the whole web.

By deliberately murdering the innocent to advance their aims, these extremists defy the fundamental principles of international order.

“Deliberate murder of innocents” is a smokescreen to divert our attention from the real crisis: Islam’s eternal Jihad of world conquest. Islam’s demonic mandate of perpetual war, found in 8:39 & 9:29, is the genesis of this crisis. There will be no peace or security in this world until those damnable doctrines are eliminated from the earth. President Bush will not face this fatal fact.

They show contempt for all who respect life and value human dignity.

The liar wants us to assume that Muslims respect human life and value human dignity. The assumption is false; entirely meretricious.

…”I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: ‘None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.’ And if they say so, pray like our prayers, face our Qibla and slaughter as we slaughter, then their blood and property will be sacred to us and we will not interfere with them except legally and their reckoning will be with Allah.” … Bukhari1.8.387

Moe, Allah’s final spokesman, clearly told us that our lives and property are not valued by Muslims until we become Muslims. Muslims who are informed, knowledgble of the Qur’an & Sunnah; true believers have no respect for life or dignity other than their own.

They reject the words of the Bible, the Koran, the Torah, or any standard of conscience or morality.

Those who shout “Allah hu Akbar” while slitting throats or detonating bombs do not reject the words of the Koran, they act in obedience to Allah; in emulation of Moe. Martyrdom is Islam’s highest honor, earning access to the prime territory in Paradise. Islamic martyrdom is not being executed by brutal tyrants for their beliefs, its being killed in battle to impose them on us.

The liar wants you to believe that the Koran is innocent of violence and terrorism. His deception is easily exposed by reference to the text.

8:12 …. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who have disbelieved, so strike them over the necks, and smite over all their fingers and toes.

33:26. And those of the people of the Scripture who backed them (the disbelievers) Allah brought them down from their forts and cast terror into their hearts, (so that) a group (of them) you killed, and a group (of them) you made captives.

Multilateral organizations have responsibilities. For eight years, the nations in this assembly have worked together to confront the extremist threat.

Fifty seven of those nations are Muslim, part of the problem, not part of the solution. Iran, whose President addressed the assembly, sponsors Hamas & Hezbollah.

To be successful, we must be focused and resolute and effective. Instead of only passing resolutions decrying terrorist attacks after they occur, we must cooperate more closely to keep terrorist attacks from happening in the first place.

To be successful, we must be focused and resolute and effective

To be successful, we must identify and eliminate the enemy: Islam.

we must cooperate more closely to keep terrorist attacks from happening

Explicit assumption: the enemy will cooperate in preventing his own attacks. How stupid, ignorant & gullible the liar must believe us to be!

Instead of treating all forms of government as equally tolerable, we must actively challenge the conditions of tyranny and despair that allow terror and extremism to thrive.

we must actively challenge the conditions of tyranny and despair that allow terror and extremism to thrive

Despair, poverty, represion, deprivation, disease & ignorance do not breed terrorism. Continuous inculcation of Islamic doctrines breeds terrorism. Muslims are taught throughout their lives that Islam is the only path to salvation; that all others are false, evil, rebellion against Allah and must be punished. We must be defeated and gathered together into Hell. Making a great slaughter is the way to earn Allah’s favor.

In the decades ahead, the United Nations and other multilateral organizations must continually confront terror. This mission requires clarity of vision. We must see the terrorists for what they are: ruthless extremists who exploit the desperate, subvert the tenets of a great religion, and seek to impose their will on as many people as possible.

must continually confront terror.

Terror is an emotional state; an extreme fear complicated by loss of control and inability to respond effectively. Casting terror is an Islamic tactical objective. Moe wanted his victims to scatter and run defenseless so that his companions could pick them off one by one as easy targets.

8:57. So if you gain the mastery over them in war, punish them severelyin order to disperse those who are behind them, so that they may learn a lesson.59:2. … Then take admonition, O you with eyes (to see).59:13. … Verily, you (believers in the Oneness of Allah – Islamic Monotheism) are more awful as a fear in their (Jews of Bani An-Nadir) breasts than Allah….Bukhari4.52.220. …I have been made victorious with terror…

Islam is what we need to confront, and since there are Islamic nations among the member states, the U.N. is not going to confront Islam. The U.N. is as much a part of the problem as are the Islamic nations. It continues to do their will in campaigning for laws to silence & censor our criticism of Moe’s Murder Cult.

8:39. And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and polytheism: i.e. worshipping others besides Allah) and the religion (worship) will all be for Allah Alone [in the whole of the world ]….

9:29. Fight against those who (1) believe not in Allah, (2) nor in the Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger (4) and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e. Islam) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.

8:12 …. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who have disbelieved, so strike them over the necks, and smite over all their fingers and toes.

Which of those tenets of Islam have they violeated; how?

of a great religion

What’s great about Islam? Its violence; the empire it built by the sword & spear? Its racism? Its tribalism? Its mysogyny?

seek to impose their will on as many people as possible.

It is Islam seeking to impose its will on the entire world.

9:33. It is He Who has sent His Messenger (Muhammad) with guidance and the religion of truth (Islam),to make it superior over all religions even though the Mushrikûn (polytheists, pagans, idolaters, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah) hate (it).

The Verse:–“You (true Muslims) are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind.” means, the best of peoples for the people, as you bring them with chains on their necks till they embrace Islam. Bukhari6.60.80

Bringing the terrorists to justice does not create terrorism – it’s the best way to protect our people.

When I read those words, I need to scream profanities! We arrested, convicted & imprisoned Sirhan; Muslims rioted and attempted hostage seizures to compel us to release him. We arrested, convicted & imprisoned Nossir, but we did not follow up on his personal documents which might have prevented two further attacks. We arrested, convicted & imprisoned Omar Abdel-Rahman; see how effective that was next time you visit New York.

There is one and only one way to protect people from Islam: eliminate it!! This is not about Justice, it is about life and death. If Islam continues, we die. Have you no clue?

Multilateral organizations must respond by taking an unequivocal moral stand against terrorism. No cause can justify the deliberate taking of innocent human life – and the international community is nearing universal agreement on this truth.

an unequivocal moral stand against terrorism

No moral stand is worth anything more than the physical action it engenders. Condemn terrorists from now ’till Doomsday; you’ll accomplish nothing until you eliminate the terrorists, their sponsors, ringmasters, supporters & sympathizers. The U.N. requires a majority, with all five permanent members included, to take any effective action. While Russia has veto power and Iran as a client state, the U.N. will do nothing effective. They resolved to disarm Hezbollah in Lebanon, prevent missile launches & resupply convoys. What did they do? Any intelligent & informed person knew blessed well, far in advance what they would do; that requires no hind site.

No cause can justify the deliberate taking of innocent human life

When your god tells you to do something, that is sufficient justification if you believe it.

Islam considers us to be rebels against their god, to be punished, humiliated, fought until we convert, pay extortion or die. When a Muslim says that killing innocents is haram, that does not include you unless you are a Muslim or Dhimmi.

and the international community is nearing universal agreement on this truth.

Any Muslim who professes such agreement is exercising kitman: deceit by concealment; to him, we are not innocent. The agreement is void, but he won’t tell you that. He smiles to your face, holding a knife behind his back.

The vast majority of nations in this assembly now agree that tactics like suicide bombing, hostage-taking and hijacking are never legitimate.

Commission a scientific survey, in every nation, smart ass, and ask each respondent whether each of those tactics is justified against Israel. Bring us the results and show us statistics to validate your outrageous idiocy! Then submit to the General Assembly a resolution to use military force to eliminate the groups using those tactics against Israel. Try to get it through the Security Council.

The Security Council has passed resolutions declaring terror unlawful and requiring all nations to crack down on terrorist financing.

Shortly after the passage of one of those resolutions, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia held a telethon which raised millions of dollars for terrorists attacking Israel. What have those resolutions accomplished?

And earlier this month, the Secretary General held a conference to highlight victims of terror, where he stated that terrorism can never be justified.

What the Hell did that accomplish? Photo ops. & touchy~Feeley quotes, nothing of substance.

And the Secretary General of the Organization of the Islamic Conference recently spoke out against a suicide bombing, which he said runs counter to the teachings of Islam.

When I read such stupid lies, I need to scream profanities & obscenities. Only a Gd’d fool would believe any such statement from any Muslim regardless of his status. There were no bombs when the teachings of Islam were taught. Moe died before the invention of gun powder. He used every weapon available to him. Killing was killing and he needed to get it done on a large scale to be sure of admission to Paradise. The only persons Muslims ain’t allowed to kill are:

children, because dead children can’t be sold into slavery

women, because dead women ain’t much fun to rape

old men, because they can’t fight anyway and make docile slaves

monks & clerics, because killing them would give Islam a negative image

Any of the above may be killed if he or she actually fights or supports the defenders.

another Muslim

Like slavery and piracy, terrorism has no place in the modern world.

Slavery, piracy & terrorism have prominent places in Islam, at all times, in all places. There is no place for Islam or its adherents in this world, except the Muslim cometary.

Around the globe, nations are turning these words into action. Members of the United Nations are sharing intelligence with one another, conducting joint operations, and freezing terrorist finances. While terrorists continue to carry out attacks like the terrible bombing in Islamabad last week, our joint actions have spared our citizens from many devastating blows.

When you share intelligence with Muslims, you prove that you don’t have any. The governments of Afghanistan & Iraq are full of Muslims. Why do the bombers know where our patrols will pass and at what times? Why can’t you figure that out? Why do you blow up a house convinced that it houses only terrorists, then find only ‘civilian’ bodies inside the wreckage? We need intelligence & logic qualification examination standards for eligibility to high office!

Over the past seven years, Afghanistan and Iraq have been transformed from regimes that actively sponsor terror to democracies that fight terror.

What do they do to fight terror against Israel? What happened to an Iraqi legislator who recently visited Israel for a conference? Terror is always Halal with all Muslims unless it is directed at them. Why can’t you comprehend that?
What is the primary source of law in the Constitutions of Afghanistan & Iraq? What is the primary source of Sharia? What does the Koran say about casting terror? What did Moe say about it? Why do we elect & re-elect ignorant, dishonest AssIdiots?

Libya has renounced its support for terror and its pursuit of nuclear weapons.

I have some beach front property to sell you in Arizona. Don’t you know about al-taqeyya? You swallowed the big lie, hook, lie and sinker.

Nations like Saudi Arabia and Pakistan are actively pursuing the terrorists.

Those named and others like them sponsor terrorism. Their royal families finance terrorists. Terrorism is fine with them as long as they ain’t the victims.

To uphold the Charter’s promise of peace and security in the 21st century, we must also confront the ideology of the terrorists. At its core, the struggle against extremists is a battle of ideas. The terrorists envision a world in which religious freedom is denied, women are oppressed, and all dissent is crushed.

God must love stupid people, he makes so many of them and lets them obtain high office. They think that the rest of us are so stupid that we will accept their lies as truth without seeking factual information and applying logic.

The ideology of terrorists is Islam. The highest value in Islam is expansion, by the sword through Jihad. Terrifying intended victims is one of Islam’s primary tactics. The main idea of Islam is that there is one deity: Allah, whom all men must worship, exactly as Moe did, either voluntarily or after being conquered. Allah requires Muslims to fight Kuffar until the entire world is converted, enslaved or killed.

Without Islam, there would be no Islamic terrorism So long as there is Islam, there will be Islamic terrorism. Terrorism is an intrinsic sacrament of Islam. You don’t eliminate poison ivy by cutting the leaves or stems, you must pull up and burn the roots; all of them. The minority, those with common sense, will understand.

The nations of this chamber must present a more hopeful alternative – a vision where people can speak freely, and worship as they choose, and pursue their dreams in liberty.

There is no place in that vision for Islam. Muslims worship Allah by killing Kuffar, glorifying his name with “Allah hu Akbar”. If he’s so Gd’d great, why does he need you to do his killing for him? To test you, of course; to prove your faith.
If Muslims can worship as they choose, we can’t worship as we choose. .

History shows that when citizens have a voice in choosing their own leaders, they are less likely to search for meaning in radical ideologies.

Wherever Islam rules, it was imposed by force, not freely chosen. Either way, there is no difference: Islam is perpetual war. Muslims are required to conquer the entire world for Allah, to make his word superior. Whether their leadership is chosen, elected, hereditary or decided by battles, the outcome is the same: Jihad.

‘radical ideologies‘ is a shibboleth spewed by liars, to divert our attention from the fact that aggressive wars of conquest, genocide & terrorism are intrinsic sacraments of Islam.

And when governments respect the rights of their people, they’re more likely to respect the rights of their neighbors.

According to Islam, only Muslims have rights; the rest of us are fair game. Its open season; there is no bag limit. It makes no difference if the Muslim ruler is just or unjust to his subjects; he is required by Islamic law to attack Kuffar at least once in every year.

Some question whether people in certain parts of the world actually desire freedom. This self-serving condescension has been disproved before our eyes. From the voting booths of Afghanistan, Iraq, and Liberia, to the Orange Revolution in Ukraine and the Rose Revolution in Georgia, to the Cedar Revolution in Lebanon and the Tulip Revolution in Kyrgyzstan, we have seen people consistently make the courageous decision to demand their liberty.

If the people of Afghanistan & Iraq desired liberty, they would not have instituted Islamic constitutions and would not be governed by Islamic regimes drawing their source from Sharia. If they were free, they would not be Muslims. Sorry; they are Allah’s slaves. They will have no freedom unless and until their yoke of slavery is broken.

For all the suggestions to the contrary, the truth is that whenever or wherever people are given the choice, they choose freedom.

Freedom is not an option where your Muslim neighbors possess automatic weapons, ammunition and bomb making materials. In that environment, the choice is death.

We must stand united in our support of other young democracies, from the people of Lebanon struggling to maintain their hard-won independence, to the people of the Palestinian Territories, who deserve a free and peaceful state of their own.

people of Lebanon struggling to maintain their hard-won independence

They ain’t struggling anymore, they lost it when you forced Israel to back off. You should have let her eliminate Hezbollah from Lebanon. You sold the Lebanese Christians down the river.

people of the Palestinian Territories, who deserve a free and peaceful state of their own.

They don’t want a free and peaceful state; of their own or for anyone else. They want a state in place of Israel, not a state along side Israel. Their goals are genocide and policide, not peace. Today the Jews, tomorrow the rest of the world. Your Mid East Peace Idiocy is treason to the human race; a war crime of the first order. You bring shame down upon America with your damn lies.

With determination and clear purpose, the United Nations can be a powerful force for good as we head into the 21st century. It can affirm the great promise of its founding.

Not while it operates by the principle of unanimity and has the enemies of peace & liberty among its membership.

Together, we confront and defeat the evil of terrorism

The statement could potentially become true if this substitution were made: Together, we confront and defeat the evil of Islam.

If you read this far, I congratulate you upon your patience.

If you are, as I am, a lover of life, liberty, peace and truth, you are welcome to cross post this with attribution.

If you are a hater of life, liberty, peace and truth who wants to raise funds for Islamic or Socialist causes, write your own damn copy, don’t steal mine.

If you believe that I have published errors of fact, write a detailed comment specifying the supposed errors; I will provide such verification as I can.

It has been narrated on the authority of Jabir b. ‘Abdullah who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) say: A group of people from my Umma will continue to fight In defence of truth and remain triumphant until the Day of judgment.

Former HUMINT. ‘Nuf said. Are you serving in the WOT??? Send us the stories and we will post them on the blog, should you so desire. I have received several emails out of the blue inquiring as to my HUMINT experience. I cannot and will not go into the details of such former activities, for the obvious reasons. In a nutshell, I have been fighting terrorists and the ideals of said bodies of murderers since 1974. I “retired” (once in never out) in 2004. 28 of those years were in the service of my country, The United States of America. Now that I am a “civilian”, I continue the battles here in the blogosphere and letters, dispatches, emails and faxes. I have determined that the battle(s) begin here, Stateside. We, the members of the Silent Majority, can be silent no more. The Leftinistra have secured and entrenched themselves within the alleged Main Stream Media now renamed as The Lame Stream Media or as I like to call them, The LSD Press. As a friend of mine from Indiana states, “The Silent Majority must stand up and ‘Do The Right Thing’ and overcome the ‘Vocal Minority’.” It can be done. We just need to get up off our complacent rear ends and fight for that which we know in our hearts is right. If we do not, we automatically fall for and support that which we know in our hearts to be wrong. If the Silent Majority continues to be afraid, they deserve everything that comes their way. PERIOD!
